Application filed April 22, 1924. Serial No. 708,163.

The invention is designed to improve the mounting of radiants in what are known as radiant stoves. -With such radiants it is desirable to properly support them with rela- 51 tion'to the burner so that ample air may enter the radiants with the flame to properly space the radiants with relation to each other and to the back. This is accomplished in the present burner in a simple and efficient manner.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings as follows Fig. 1 shows a front elevation of the stove partiy in section on the line 33 in Fig. 2.

13 Fig. 2 an enlarged view of the radiant mounting on the line 2-2 in 1.

Fig. 8 a section on the line 3-3 in Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 a section on the line 4.--4i in Fig. 3, the radiants being removed.

1 marks the stove frame having a back 2. A back plate 3 is formed of cast iron and has a flange 3 extending back and secured to the back 2. Radiants 4 are mounted in front of the back plate 3 and their rear corners rest on lugs 5, each lug having shoulders 5 to space the radiants from the back plate 3 and a shoulder 6 to space the radiant apart.

A guard plate 7 is formed in the frame and extends across the stove in front of the radiants. Its position relatively to the radiants is clearly shown in Fig. 2. The bottom of the radiant resting on the lug 5 is thus prevented from slipping ofi the lug by the plate 7 and the plate 7 forms a guard for this purpose.

A burner 8 has jet projections 9 with slits 9 adapted to deliver flame into the bottoms of the radiants.

The back plate 3 has an enamel forming a reflecting and insulating surface and is formed of cast iron, the lugs 5 being cast with the back plate 3 and the lugs being also enamelled to insulate them.

It will be noted that the radiants form a clear space between the radiants and the burner throughout practically the circumference of the bottom of the radiants so that there is free access of air to the radiant thus supplying the auxiliary air for combustion. In this way there'is not only a convenient means of supporting and securing the radiants but it is more efiicient as to combustion in that there is a freer access of air to the flame.

Any means may be utilized for holding the upper ends of the radiants from tipping forward. This may be accomplished by a rod, such as the rod 8.

What I claim as new is 1. In a stove, the combination of a frame; a. back plate having forwardly extending lugs; radiant-s having their bottoms resting lugs; radiants having their bottoms resting on said lugs and projecting forwardly from said lugs; means securing the upper ends of the radiants; a burner-having jets delivering flame into the bottoms of the radiants; and a guard in front of the. bottoms of the radiants maintaining them on the lugs.

3. In a stove, the combination of a frame; a back plate having forwardly extending lugs, said lugs having spacer shoulders thereon; radiants resting on said lugs and against said shoulders; means securing the upper ends of the radiants; and a burner having jets delivering flame into the bottoms of the radiants.

tJIn a stove, the combination of a frame; a back plate having forwardly extending lugs, said lugs having spacer shoulders thereon spacing the radiants from each other and the back plate; radiants resting on said lugs I and against said shoulders; means securing the upper ends of the radiants; and a burner having jets delivering flame into the bottoms of the radiants.

5. In a stove, the combination of a frame; a back plate having forwardly extending lugs, said back plate having an enamel face facing the plate and lugs; radiantsresting on the lugs; means securing the upper ends of the radiants; and a burner having jets delivering flame into the bottoms of the radlants. I p In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
